Bug 291488

Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.4) 
OS:                Linux

Plasma desktop does not access the internet correctly after an initial failure (loading the session with no active connection). This is evidenced by:
- Applets do not load data, after connection is available
- "Get Hot New Stuff" module fails with "Loading of providers from file: http://download.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml failed"

After the connection is available, this file is accessible both via a browser (Konqueror), as well as wget.

Connected via wireless using manual (IPV4 address etc) assignment, with WPA/WPA2 Personal authentication.

Connection is initially unavailable, as the wireless module is waiting authentication via KDE wallet. 

Using the ath9k wireless driver on ASUS G73Jh hardware.

Applets enabled:
RSSNow
Facebook
DroptoImageShack
LCD Weather Station
Magic Folder
gmail-plasmoid

This appears to be tied to the user profile, as creating a new user will allow the "Get Hot New Stuff" module to work, until modules are set up and configured, and a session logout is completed.

I'm speculating that the initial failed attempt (due to no currently available connection) is cached, and not correctly re-tried once the connection is available.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Create new user account
2) Configure wireless network with manual settings
3) Set up and configure the following applets
RSSNow
Facebook
DroptoImageShack
LCD Weather Station
Magic Folder
gmail-plasmoid
4) Log off
5) Log on (problem is now observed)

Actual Results:  
- Applets do not load data, after connection is available
- "Get Hot New Stuff" module fails with "Loading of providers from file: http://download.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml failed"

Expected Results:  
- Applets load data from web, as appropriate
- "Get Hot New Stuff" module correctly loads appropriate files available online.
